wbar sometime gets "garbled"
florian:
Hi, This is as discussed on #tinycorelinux channel with ^thehatsrule^ and others:
Not a critical issue, but anyway...
The background of the wbar section gets corrupted with the image of what was on top of it when it gets restarted. In particular this can happen when a new extension gets loaded (presumably wbar gets restarted then in order to display extra icons potentially included in the newly loaded extension)
A manual workaround is to make sure no window is overlapping with it and then restart the wbar.
tobiaus:
does killall wbar && wbar -above-desk make any difference?
roberts:
I have a menu item to restart wbar. Just move the overlapping window and select the Restart Wbar from the menu.
tobiaus:
the /usr/bin/wbar.sh script that's called by the menu is:
--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
if [ $(awk '/icons:/{print $2}' "$HOME"/.desktop) == wbar ]; then
WBARPID=$(pidof wbar)
[ -n "$WBARPID" ] && killall wbar
wbar -zoomf 1 -nanim 1 -bpress &
fi
--- End code ---
if you change line 5 to:
--- Code: ---wbar -zoomf 1 -nanim 1 -above-desk -bpress &
--- End code ---
(adding -above-desk) does that prevent the bug?
^thehatsrule^:
iirc it doesn't affect it, because this is a problem with the transparency background. And that flag is for something else (no affect in default TC).
